xrandr is 3 years old in debian unstable (?)

[Jeffery Carr <basilarchia@gmail.com>]

I think something might have gone wrong somewhere? There are commits to the git repo to update xrandr to 1.5.1 but I noticed today that xrandr is still version 1.5.0. I tried "apt -t experimental install x11-xserver-utils" but it's the same version that is in debian sid.

If someone would be so kind, I would love to know the "proper" way to trigger a build from https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/app/x11-xserver-utils  so I can make an uptodate .deb package.

I tried to build it this way but it didn't work.

# install a up to date version of debian sid

git clone https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/app/x11-xserver-utils

apt-get build-dep x11-xserver-utils

cd x11-xserver-utils

debuild

# some failure happens before it makes any .deb files

Best wishes,
